Art on the ART Bus
Art on the ART Bus is a mobile gallery on one of Arlington County’s ART public transit buses. Run by Artisphere Visual Arts Curator, Cynthia Connolly, this unique bus features original works of art. This dynamic connection between public transit and original art makes the commute as exciting as the destination, cultivating a vibrant arts experience for transit riders between point A and point B in Arlington County, Virginia. Following the program’s launch in December 2010, this bus will rotate throughout the different routes available to ART bus passengers.
ABOUT THE ARTIST: Victor Ekpuk Creates Work for "Art on the ART Bus"
Victor Ekpuk, an Alexandria, Va. based artist, is inspired by ancient African writing systems and symbols. He will be creating a new installation in the WIP (Works in Progress) Gallery which will later be displayed in the ART bus. Throughout the course of Victor's month-long residency at Artisphere, we invite the public to meet the artist, watch him at work in his temporary studio and participate in creating your own art using personal symbols borrowed from your immediate environment.
